Send SMTP mail from Script task
Hello Forumers,
My objective I'm trying to resolve is to send either a success or failure email to multiple recipents using SMTP mail from Script Task in SSIS. I pretty much know this script code below will achieve for sending 1:1 (1 to 1 recipicent), but my objective is 1:m (1 to many recipicents). I know it's something simple, can anyone guide me here? Greatly appreciate any feedback, thanks.
Imports System
Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime
Imports System.Net.Mail
Imports System.Net
Public Class ScriptMain
Public Sub Main()
Dim myHtmlMessage As MailMessage
Dim mySmtpClient As SmtpClient
Dim smtpserver As String = "192.168.9.78"
Dim Subject As String = "subject"
Dim Body As String = "body"
myHtmlMessage=New MailMessage(firstname.lastname@somecompany.com,
"firstname.lastname@somecompany.com", Subject, body)
mySmtpClient = New SmtpClient(smtpserver)
mySmtpClient.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials
mySmtpClient.Send(myHtmlMessage)
Dts.TaskResult = Dts.Results.Success
End Sub
End Class

I am not sure of sending to a list 'all at once', but can help with sending one at a time in a loop using ForEach and create a custom function for it which takes in a list and parsing the list (ordinal list) to send to a list of recipients.Let me know.

You can add multiple address to 'To', 'CC' or 'BCC' by using following code:

myHtmlMessage.To.Add("test1@test.com")

myHtmlMessage.To.Add("test2@test.com")")

myHtmlMessage.CC.Add("test3@test.com")")

myHtmlMessage.CC.Add("test4@test.com")")

myHtmlMessage.Bcc.Add("test5@test.com")")

myHtmlMessage.Bcc.Add("test6@test.com")")

You may write code to populate these values from your DB too.

Although very easy (the earlier post), i would recommend, u know to get your email list values from a database table, flat file etc, so that it saves u the excess coding and build one common function to implement it.

Forumers,

Thank you for all your very fast replies. I have found a workable solution. I can just add a comma between recipients in my toaddress string and that seems to work just fine.

Forumers,
Thank you for all your very fast replies. I have found a workable solution. I can just add a comma between recipients in my toaddress string and that seems to work just fine.

Keep in mind ToAddress property is limited to 256 characters. So with not that many email recipients, you will hit the limit pretty soon. A better approach would be what Vishal proposed, using a ForEach container to iterate over a list and send email to each recipient.
